Primo Italiano Sandwich {Recipe}

italian sandwich

Sandwiches are tough in our home. Everyone likes something different. But the one we can all agree on (except maybe Small Fry, who’s still in the “peanut butter and jelly or bust” stage) is this: The Primo Italiano.

Back when Will and I were first married (when we both worked outside the home, before he was self-employed or we had kids), one of the local grocery stores – the one we worked for – decided that they wanted to compete with the sandwich shops, so they installed sandwich bars in all the delis. They had several prefab sandwiches to choose from, but you could also “build your own” like at Subway. One of the prefab sandwiches was this one, and it quickly became our favorite lunch.

Unfortunately, they discontinued this sandwich after a few years, so I’ve developed this copy-cat recipe so we wouldn’t miss out on one of our favorites.

I’ve been pretty specific about things like the bread, but you can use any kind you like. I would not, however, recommend anything too soft. You want something with a good crust to help hold everything together and give you the right texture to your sandwich. French bread is about as soft as I’d go with this particular sandwich; definitely do not use regular sliced bread. With the olives, if you don’t like green, go ahead and visit your local deli and choose something fairly exotic that you like. But don’t use regular black olives. They won’t have the right flavor. Outside of that, it’s pretty flexible. You can use whatever kind of salami you like, in regular or low-fat. Same with the cream cheese.

Enjoy!

Blessings,

Instructions
